When I opened multiple tabs in a window of firefox quantum, new tabs were opening but getting overlapped with already opened ones and I was unable to close the opened tabs, as seen in the pic https://ibb.co/mpLxXb

I am using ubuntu 16.04 and unity desktop environment

Hi

So that we can better understand what you are seeing, please can you attach a screenshot?

It would also be useful to understand which distro you are using and which desktop environment you have installed.
